Bit of a different pre game for me this week as I am away from Homebase. 

Spending the weekend in the Champagne area in a luxury hotel in the hills above Epernay to celebrate my birthday. Champagne tasting and buying, Michelin starred eating, spa treatments etc. I will be watching live with a hangover.

Dees in The Alice by 6 goals.

First time I have started a GAMEDAY thread. Hope I have not stood on any toes.

    He always makes a stand, just sometimes it’s the Alamo and sometimes Rorke’s Drift. Will never die wondering will our Jack!

    Win or lose this one against Port, I'd suggest that no matter what the opposition's form and talent may produce, Viney will give it his all. The challenge for him is a big one, playing his role with less selfishness that previously, replacing the drive of Clarrie, blending with Trac and Kozzie whilst exploiting what hopefully will be a re-energised Gawn and Jackson combination -  in all roles that he must play and under such pressure, Viney usually does produce those special games ticking off all the boxes for which he is notoriously famous and admired. Step up, Jack, and annihilate those Port misfits.

    Good morning my fellow supporters of the best footy club in the known universe. 

    A big win today by 80 points may get us back on top we where belong.

    Will be tough with some of the outs but I get the feeling a few Fwds will kick a few big bags.

    Come on Dees.

    Gf not too far away now.

    I'm not greedy but we deserve back to back flags  especially one at our home fans can actually go and see.

    Enjoy folks.

    At least Viney has been great of late.

    Jack Viney is having a great year. I've no doubts about him at all today

    It's the foot soldiers who need to lift. Spargs, Sprarrow, Bedford must give us more. Nibbler hasn't been great either. We need May to get back to his towering best.

    Hope Tommo can slot in seamlessly. He was fantastic playing Petty's role before the knee injury last year

    I'm hoping against hope that Melks can find the ball and deliver some gold platter service to our forwards. If he improves our connection today he will have justified his selection.

    I'm not confident. Port are resurgent. Every remaining game a final for them if they want to make the 8.

    Just hoping for the win tbh. Any sort of a scrappy, ugly win will do

    Go Dees

    I hope Weid takes some angry tablets and nicely pushes around a few opponents.

    Centre of attention we are today. A few teams around the bottom and outside the 8 cheering for us, a few teams up the top hoping Port do the dirty. Such is the logjam, but the most important part is, let’s do this for ourselves and remind everyone why we are the reigning premiers. 🔴🔵

    We will be too big and strong.

    Tracca will step up and perhaps Gus who like Viney is having a stellar season can spend time in the guts.

    Relax we have this ....we will storm home this season with our spinniker up like last year.

    I'm apprehensive. Port are in good form and have to win to stay in touch of the eight.

    Life without Clarrie will be a challenge too.

    With no recognised ruck for Port, I’m expecting Luke Jackson to step up massively today and put in an imposing career best performance.

    I also expect us to come out fresh and firing off our equal longest break for the year.

    Interesting to listen to Goody’s presser this week.  A lot of repetition re the challenge is in front of us and 6 weeks to go.   I have a feeling this is when we start our run to the finals.  We might be a bit rusty, but I can see us squeezing the life out of Port today, being better through half forward and creating space for forwards by faster ball movement.

    Port are no slouch, so we will have to play well.  We were within a kick mid way through the last quarter against the cats, then got run over,  Can’t see them applying that level of pressure, but we will!  Dees to kick 80+, port to kick under 60.  That’s a 4-6 goal win.


    I thought last weeks dude was pretty good leading into September. This one as well apart from Carrie out.  Thought Bedford and Melky were a bit “lucky”. But it’s still a very strong side.  We can overcome the opposition Go Dees.        
    wish I could watch it never mind I will hear it and there is the replay.

    I liked goody's presser too. I think we are set for these next six weeks.

    I might have a few Carlton draughts in my trackies so I guess we both have a pretty solid day planned

    Am hoping after a nine day break can perform similarly to after our last nine day break against the Lions!

    Will happily accept any winning margin!

    Go Demons!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
